The sun was out just in time for the Remembrance Day ceremony in St. Anthony. At 10:30 am, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #17, the Air Cadets, and the Sea Cadets led a parade, departing from St. Mary’s Anglican Church and heading for the war memorial where the Remembrance Day ceremony was conducted.

The crowd for this year’s ceremony was one of the largest ever, according to some.
